Abstract: The Working Together online learning resource to improve collaborative practice (teamwork) includes eight modules. They cover collaborative practice principles and skills, their application to care delivery, and their evaluation in the work environment. Fifty-nine 'early adopters' of collaborative practice in 17 long-term care homes field-tested the new resource. Eighty-six percent (51 of 59) completed all sections of the resource, including online questionnaires. Eight teams of learners reported on their experiences. Participants' attitudes towards collaboration did not change. Collaborative knowledge increased after participation in the learning. Participants believed that the resource helped strengthen collaborative practice. Team communications and functioning improved.
